Book 1: Everything is Fine by Ann Dee Ellis

Everything is Fine by Ann Dee Ellis

This was similar in style and theme to Ellis' first book, This is What I Did, and it might have had more of an impact on me if I hadn't read that one already. It felt like a retread. Not a bad book, but honestly, it didn't do much for me so I don't think I'll bother writing a lot but get on to the next book.

I read this book a couple of months ago and found it not quite what I was expecting. I didn't remember This is What I Did well enough for it to feel like a retread, although there might have been some of that in the disjointed style that Ellis uses. I thought EiF was good, but just not exactly . . . hmm, I don't know.
